According to Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot, the publisher is working on the brand bit by bit to eventually allow for a Splinter Cell return.
New reports indicate that Sony Interactive Entertainment and Insomniac Games may still have Marvel's Venom in development.

In an exclusive interview with Game File, new(ish) Xbox boss Asha Sharma and Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty explain their vision for Microsoft’s gaming division

These classics need to make a return.
I actually don’t want it current Ubisoft is all about open world games with microtransactions I don’t want to see Splinter Cell going that route.
An always online game.
I don't understand why when it comes to the Splinter Cell IP Ubisoft has to stealthily bring the series back(other than using analogies) when they can reinvent a huge property like Assassins Creed, Watchdogs or fund new IP's Ike For Honor, Skull and Bones or Gods & Monsters!
Why not just get back to basics but with contemporary twists. Surly modern tech could see a Splinter Cell game that so many fans want. Also it doesn't need to be open world. Why not take a page from the recent Hitman games?!?! Have Sam travel all over the globe and each area is a vast open area that can see the objectives completed in a number of ways.
Have cloak and dagger play a big part and they could also update the ahead of its time spy's vs mercs. I don't see the hesitation because I think if done right it could be a really great series once again!
Online only co-op, cosmetic microtransactions, pay to win, empty openworld, am I close ?
